I would just say that as a person who works in the field of organization development, OrthoNebraska clearly has figured out how to cultivate a positive, powerful, enduring organizational culture that is strikingly different from anything I have ever experienced. It leaves me deeply curious and thinking to myself, I want to work with an organization like that just so I can experience the good effects of it everyday. The OrthoNebraska culture is top tier and it really makes a difference in the lives of people. It shows!

I made the doctor visit for a consultation but I was able to get diagnosed and get the procedure done all in one visit which is critical due to time restraints I have on being able to get to the doctor. They valued my time and I am appreciatetive of that.
